Nix wrote half of my debugger

I tried using various configurations tools and to this day, unless it’s needed for a project, my strategy is “don’t bother”. When I use a program for a while, I backup the config somewhere and perhaps write a few notes, but my daily setup vary enough and last enough that I wouldn’t replicate it.

My mac setup hasn’t been replaced since 2021 or something, and it was copied from my old mac. I have a dotfiles git repo, which I drag around and have multiple branches for my daily driver. For temp setup, I just copy files and edit.

most of us are not interested in doing extra unnecessary manual work to maintain these things or synchronize them across different computers or resurrect them after a certain amount of time not touching them

but you go with your time wasting self
